Insist that the teller had you the coins one at a time handling them only by the edge and then put each of them in an airtite or kointain before you put them in your pocket?
There has to be at least one person that has tried to do this!

If that is indeed damage I would be upset, but I looks like it could be small pieces from the cardboard... Have you opened the set up to see if is undoubtedly damage? Or is it obvious that it is damage? Some of them are curved in a way that makes them look very 'fiberish'...

I had two sets and they both had similar spots. I don't want to call it "damage", but it wasn't right. I compared it to a set at my dealer and his did not have the spotting. The best description I can give you is, it looks like the freckling an old guy gets on his forehead and scalp. In this case it extended past the head into the background of the coin.

I'll keep you posted on what the replacement sets look like.
